I would rather buy a OBD2 port dongle and use forscan if you already have a laptop all you need is a OBD port dongle. Plus you can change and add so many other things. I purchased my obd mx link Bluetooth dongle for 60.00 in 2012 and have used it on 5 different vehicles, paid for itself 10x over

I would hate to have to remove that and reinstall it every trip to the dealer and worry that if they find it they may say it would void the warranty.

Don't worry about the warranty. Be concerned it will vanish into thin air. Handy little things tend to grow legs when strangers are in your vehicle.

Strangers don't go in my vehicle, that's why I've had this for 12 yrs. Plus its in my laptop bag anyway.

Does it work with the 2025 models including the Lobo?

Does anyone have one of these they have not yet installed in the 2025?

If so, would you be willing to post some pictures of the harness connections on both sides? I'm curious what the part number is on the plug they use for the gateway module...

Pull up some of the online videos. I don't have a link, but Google them. I am so glad I installed it.

I have used every bit of zoom that my technology is capable of. Cannot see model numbers on the harness pieces

I'm sorry that did not work! I'm not inclined to take the panel off and pull the unit out for photos - hopefully someone will see this who has not installed it yet or reply with photos they took. Good group here.

I've read the whole thread. Twice.

Was that yes, that you still have one uninstalled?
Miss read the statement. The auto stop/start eliminator is still installed.
The thing was too hard to install to be taking it out.
